But but. Chronology a little messed. Before we arrived at our hotel, we spent one night in the town of Kuta, the most entertaining town in Bali. Przylatywaliśmy evening and we did not want to go straight to the Intercontinental, because he is in the village of Jimbaran and we landed in Despasar (and the all clear, no?:)). Anyway, one night we stayed at a hotel in the entire forging, where immediately after installing the
we went to tour the city. Tour as the tour, we stopped at the first house. And you know so we stopped so quickly? Dollars against the nuts, do not guess. Well, we stopped at the first open restaurant in Bali, an island dream of millions of tourists around the world, the holiday paradise in Indonesia where time passes slowly and the sun never sets, because it was raining . Yes, it rained. It was raining cats and dogs as well, tearing off the truest clouds. It turned out that now in Bali, A) is the off season and there is absolutely no people, the Australians, the main group of tourists coming to Bali, have a summer and sit at home and B) sometimes it rains. Czarnowidztwo nasty, because none of the above has not proved to be true, but it faces us some of that first evening zrzedły. In any event,
AAAAAAA !!!!!! I forgot!!
Sorry, we have to go back again. This time until landing in Bali. The most beautiful story of our stay. Let's call it
"How to perform a perfect small-talk?"

customs officers from Bali
scene plays out, it is not difficult to guess at the airport. The plane lands, we follow the advice of Piotrek globetrotter who has already Bali was, we set very close to exit the plane, because apparently the queue for a visa, which must be purchased in Indonesia, is formed rapidly, and we are right next door. Goes first class, we're waiting.
NOW! We
. Do not run, but a very fast pace we go by the sleeve, and fly toward the positions at which buys a visa. Along the way each of us is obwąchany by a police dog. Pinch-pinch, clean, fly. We're flying. The experience we have, live in Warsaw, as the mall opens and there is elektromarkecie promotion, it also must steer clear of people quickly, the rush and dribbles among disoriented Indonezyjczykami like Alberto Tomba on the route between the slalom poles in its heyday. We get to windows. First.
It turns out that there is no queue, the atmosphere is relaxed immediately. We are we - Alek, Peter, Charles and I in front of two customs officers, who are already away at us, flashing their white (because the background of a dark face) of teeth, crying and waving a friendly "Come here." So we approached, skowronkach inches, because not enough, he finally landed and we're finally in Bali, man!, It's still ahead all, just get a visa and we'll go to the hotel, in addition you feel such friendship and friendly, smiling and generally
, so we take in. pleased, delighted in. They look at us, smile and say:
Guards: We welcome you very warmly Bali! My

Now note - a key moment
Charlotte nonchalantly rests on the top and burns:
- And with these bombs, how? Right?
What happened after this sentence, is indescribable. In a country where tourism is absolutely crucial sector of the economy in which the branch is experiencing a huge crisis since the attacks in 2002, in a country where every third family is directly or indirectly dependent on tourists, in a country which suffered a huge shock and finally in 2002, when he died here More than 150 people are killed each year since then dozens of them, because the attacks, despite the increased control, repeated each year and this is all a huge tragedy for the residents of the island, Charles asked about their biggest problem in a tone of light chat with Mrs. Krysia notched. Imagine the reaction of the guards. Or better yet - imagine a balloon. Balloon with every second becomes a bigger and bigger, until finally it is so great that you can not see anything beyond it. Let the balloon symbolizes openness and friendliness of the Indonesian customs officers. At the moment when Charles moved
Question of the Year, the balloon fills the airport terminal, has also been strained to the limit. A question about the bomb was a needle. A balloon burst with a bang. With a deafening roar in complete silence.
In a split second by any trace of a smile vanished forever from the face guards. Mouth ścisnęły them, eyes narrowed, faces poczerwieniały. The air was suddenly very, very heavy and dense. Friendly welcoming atmosphere disappeared in the air as quickly as it appeared. For a few seconds time stood still. We realized that Charles pushed the wrong button at the time when these unlucky words left his mouth, but it was too late. The guards stood closer together and placed in accordance Charles look at the rotating diamond drill seems to be massaging the tip of the portable device back massage. After a few seconds of silence interrupted and said the only thing I can say, moving only the muscles of the thousands of faces, which had to utter a sound:
- no bombs. No problem.
Then he showed us the hand movement, where we have to go now, not speaking to have not a word.
sometimes within a few seconds to decide his life. Within a few seconds to Bali Karol Karol Złotousty nickname.
OK, end of digression. So after the first night of Kuta, the next morning (1pm), we went to our hotel, where I found it on the verge of collapse, because I ran out of breath at the sight of all the good rooms. However, before we were allowed to pass through the big, metal gate, the driver had to stop, identify, and evade two guards a car with such mirrors attached to sticks, which are used there to see if the car does not have attached any bombs. In the end, however, probably came to the conclusion that it did not look at suicide bombers and the barrier will be lifted, and we drove into the hotel. We arrived by taxi from reception, where you rolled elegant semicircle, and stood right in front of a beautiful staircase leading to the main lobby. We got all the support staff present at the site - a few people - greeted us with smiles przeuprzejmymi, we knew already, what topics do not move, and odwzajemniliśmy smiles, a man with guide took a big hammer and hit him in the huge gong, the sound of which came to Boye hotel to take our luggage. We went all in, for Piotrek, who has a Priority Club and arranged for us all instant check-in. So we enter, sit on soft sofas mega exotic wood, ladies give us non-alcoholic cocktail in a beautiful glasses, drink and wait. Immediately comes the lady with the service, consists of both hands on his chest in a gesture of traditional Indonesian greeting, taking away passports and disappears. Disappears, and we stay for our mega-soft sofa with exotic cocktails in the beautiful glasses. For me, this moment could last forever - looked around the beautiful lobby, cocktail and trickled just glad that I am there, and did not bother me - nay, not even noticed - that you do not have for a long time. But not Peter. Peter has already noticed an ideal opportunity to improve the condition of points on your card Priority Club and told us that just do avanti , second favorite words Piotrek after collect the points. So the plan Piotrek, who always manage to enforce it, what is asked, was such that will tell you that its Priority Club guarantee him instant check-in, and he is waiting half an hour and what do you mean, ma'am .. (... The rest you already know). That's all (avanti announcement in the absence of the lady from the manual), a raised voice, with full gestures - Peter introduced the word us in such a way that everyone eagerly waited for the show proper. Wait, wait - here goes! - Are you with the service. Peter gets up, all holding our breath and listen. And we hear how quiet voice cichutkim, bent (Peter is tall, Ms. Low) tells her something straight out of the ear. He says he speaks and speaks. It takes about two or three minutes, this cichutka speech, then you responsible Piotrek beautiful smile and a few words, nods his head, Peter is doing the same thing, turns and walks away. There appeared to be a resounding success, I must tell you, and certainly differed slightly from what was we presented earlier. So Peter goes back to our mega-soft sofas on which we are constantly drink exotic cocktails with the beautiful glasses, completely relaxed, and starts to talk about what it said in a loud voice, with all gestures, in a tone that brooked no opposition, so we able to fully empathize with the role of staff who failed to perform its obligation to treat the dog as outstanding guest with due esteem, and which must now receive a reprimand is appropriate. We sit, slightly petrified, until finally Maciek not stand and says:
- Piotrek but you probably did not tell her just the same, eh? Because we feel that scream at us, and with it a friendly talking. You better tell us if you have extra points? What you've gained? What did you say?
-... ... ... ... ... Well, this .... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... ... ... said her sorry.
hehehehe: D: D Such a small story on the side:)
And now a few interesting facts about Bali: Bali
is the most popular with nearly 17, ooo Indonesian islands. Residents of neighboring islands treat it as a separate state. No wonder - the national income per capita exceeds several times the average Indonesian here. Indonesians traveling within their own country have the right to move freely anywhere with the exception of Bali - to go there, they need a separate visa! Island owes its richness to two sources - memorabilia, or industry, generally speaking, dekoracyjnemu, and tourism. Bali is trying to autonomy, because the differences between it and the rest of the island are so striking that having an independent państwapo statute would simply be paid off here. In the event of fight for autonomy, but the chances are slim.
Contrary to common opinion, Bali is a small island. It occupies an area of \u200b\u200b2.100 km 2 (30 to 70km). lives here - attention - more than 3 million people! Half of them are visitors from other parts of Indonesia, who came here in search of bread. On the island there are a few major cities and many tourist destinations, travel by car from one to another can take up to 2 hours.
Balinese are very relaxed and lazy nation. Our friend comes from Bali and other decorative articles says that if the Bali say and swear to him that the goods will be April 10, he already knows that prior to May there is nothing to count on him. March 31 is there an official national holiday, a day off from work and the most important day of the year. Two weeks before the Balinese prepare for the Christmas holidays through a series of smaller, so that the feast of the Year come well prepared, and after the feast over the next two weeks is slowly returning to normalcy, including through a number of smaller festivals. So just for a month and a Balinese celebrate everything except their own well-being, are in deep consideration.
Another interesting thing is that after the death of a close Balinese make his body in a small, specially constructed for the occasion, braided cottage behind the house, called gazebo that his soul had time to talk with the spirits and dealing with all matters temporal. The body lies there in the month in the house, practically on the outside, because the house is provisional. Then the relatives to bury them in the ground. It is easy to imagine the consequences of leaving the body for a month at the court in the tropics. However, it is This local tradition is worth describing.
Bali in the four corners there are four temples. We decided on a trip organized by the hotel and rode a bus across the island InterContinental;), also had the opportunity to see two of the four temples. We also had the opportunity to see breathtaking rice terraces. They do not know that rice grows in water. Thanks to the presence of two avid photographers - Alka and Charles - have so many beautiful pictures that I really could not decide which post, and which to fold - for reasons of volume, we could not show you as many as we want. And so come to my attention that the site opens up some very, very slowly. Pictures are packed, but still the structure of the blog, is that all of the current month is displayed immediately on the homepage, does not allow for very efficient management of content, including people with slower connections will most likely have little trouble opening up the liquid.
Well, but nothing. We start the session with a sightseeing trip to Bali:

Bali in the four corners there are four temples.

Well, but nothing. We start the session with a sightseeing trip to Bali:
entrance to the first temple
s before entering a small note to the girls
chill, huh?
As we admired the views, accompanied us to the absolute silence, broken only by bird songs and heavy, warm air
A below has pictures of the second temple:
pictures from a distance - it looked like marriage or thick, at least some romantic action, because it left for
photographers - I steal the equipment while Alka
Charles at an angle
I, Charles and stick.
green bananas and pink lans - comment by Charles
for the faithful readers - something like a catamaran on Boracay, huh? :)
No wonder that in such theater space build temples - the view from my cottage ask retired
monument planted roots
path
trees
Chapel on the water
second chapel on the water, this time pointed
And now pictures of the road from the Second Temple to the rice terraces:
where life takes me?
narrow road, sharp corners, an old car, the driver of an ambitious - fear in the eyes of
one of my favorite images - a boy with a chainsaw. Piece real Indonesian life.
The grandfather is a world champion! Who watched the Karate Kid??
Just In Time delivery in Indonesian.
But the eggs!
I love this picture.
These two photographs are posed and created solely for the purpose of satire:
Oh, how heavy and cumbersome, it's life. Not only that, the InterContinental is not assured in the van with massage chairs, it's still refreshing wipes, which gave the driver our hotel We in the middle of rice fields, were inadequate temperature ...
no really ... by what we have to go ..
:-))))))))))))))))))))))
It already the standard picture of our journey - a distribution center for Coca-Cola
T ak was probably bird flu
rice fields do not have to be terraced rice may be normal "level":) - the view from the road
And this is no longer appropriate rice terraces - stunning views
Yes irrigated
as the eye could
Bison live in the wilderness. Rice grows in water.
